Why I Camp Where I Do At Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge
I spend a lot of time camping in my trailer and as a bird photographer my choice of a camping spot is an important one for me.

Montana Farm Potpourri
Whenever I visit the northwest Montana farm where I grew up I feel like I’m returning home. It’s been 50 years since I actually lived there but I don’t think that feeling will ever leave me.
Great Horned Owl And A Ghostly Apparition
On a recent post about this Great Horned Owl I said I’d soon explain “the rest of the story” about the bird. This is it.
American Kestrels As Reptile Hunters
Young Coot Giving Its Huge Foot A Pedicure
It must be awkward at times to have feet large enough to wrap several times around your own head.
Juvenile Great Horned Owl On The Farm
The Great Horned Owls on the Montana farm are unusually shy this summer so I only had two brief encounters with them on my recent trip.
Swainson’s Hawk In Flight With Feet Fully Tucked
Do some raptor species tuck their feet faster after take-off than others? I’m beginning to think so.
Killdeer At A Development Stage I Hadn’t Photographed Before
Yesterday it struck me why I’ve missed this stage of development in Killdeer in the past.
Great Horned Owl Bathed In A Fiery Glow
I tried for three days to get some images of one of the Great Horned Owls on the farm. When I finally succeeded something a little weird happened.
Buck Pronghorn Challenging Me In The Fog
The females and youngsters trotted nervously away from the road but the buck reacted quite differently to me.
Red-tailed Hawk And Its Buddy In A Rustic Western Setting
Light Morph Swainson’s Hawk – An Athletic Takeoff
Whenever I catch this posture at takeoff I’m always impressed by the physical effort and athletic ability required to become airborne.
Gray Partridges – An Unusual Find For The Centennial Valley
In approximately 25 trips to the Centennial Valley in the past six years I’d never seen Gray Partridges but I found these two birds there two days ago near Lima Reservoir.
Centennial Valley Ferruginous Hawk
Yesterday morning I photographed this handsome Ferruginous Hawk as it was apparently perch-hunting in the Centennial Valley.
Montana Beckons Me Once Again
Today I embark on another Montana camping trip but this one’s going to be a little (a lot!) different in a variety of ways.
